I'd been reading 'Music Is The Drug' the authorized biography of Cowboy Junkies and naturally wanted to listen to their music. I never suspected that I had a master never offered via DIME, and here we have the result. The torrent has applause in balance, many talk and some music levels raised, and hoots, etc. removed or reduced. Audience interaction is captured nicely. It is a fresh transfer from my master and therefore will differ from previous uploads of this performance, if any. Even though there are problems as listed below, the listen remains a pleasure.

Faults: The very involved crowd made its presence felt during the applause and talk segments and unfortunately during the quiet songs. Much of Margo's talk was captured at a very low level. Raising it to normal audible increased hiss and also magnified the room sounds. I coped with the very frequent whistles, etc. best I could. Many of those not removed remain annoying.
